Christianity With Tracey

sent me an email the other day providing me with a link took me to focusvoter.com.  In fact, I see that it is on the homepage of their website now.Here is what the email said: 

The general election is just around the corner and it’s clear we’ll continue to be inundated with campaign advertisements about the many candidates and ballot issues until Election Day–but are you ready to cast your ballot?

At Focus on the Family^®, we strongly believe that voting is both a right and a privilege–the basic form of involvement in our democratic system of government, as well as our duty as Christians. When we vote, we help determine who will lead our nation, make our laws and protect our liberties, as well as directly decide on numerous ballot issues.

With this weighty responsibility, it is absolutely critical that we exercise our right to vote this election year–as well as understand where our candidates stand on the issues that matter to values voters. We hope you’ll take a moment to visit the CitizenLink® Election Central Web site, where you’ll find information to help you choose the candidates who best line up with your beliefs, convictions and values.

You may even want to print the information and take it with you to your polling place. This is perfectly legal and may save you time as you cast your ballot.

On November 4^th, don’t forget to vote your values!

Ok!  Great!  Here I go!  Upon visiting the site, I read this:

Cool!  I definitely need this, because I do NOT keep up with politics like I should.  I need a “cheat sheet.”

Update:  On 10/17/08 I checked the site again and it was all completed!  Way cool!  I’m all set.

However, after clicking on my state (Maine), and then entering in all of my information on the next page, I was told this:

Poop!  So, I guess I will check back.

Please, if you check this out and it works for you, let me know!  I really need this information!

Thanks!
